Surgery Date 4/30/14



Recommended Posts

Hello my name is Nita. I am having surgery tomorrow and I am losing my mind. I have no family support. Everyone in my family thinks I have lost my mind because I choose to take control of my life. I just need encouragement. I'm a little defeated :-(

My surgery date is 4/30/2014 also. Nita, you are by no means alone, we are in this together! Thru Christ we can do all things! The road will not be easy, but certainly well worth it! I pray for our successful and hopefully uneventful surgery. I'm looking forward to a new life with a new tool that will help me reach the goal I have dreamed of.

Hi Nita.

I'm having surgery tomorrow, too! We are all in this together and just remember you are doing this for YOU! I don't think anyone understands this process unless they have gone or are going through it. Let us be your support. I've found a lot of comfort here and I'm sure you will, too.

Good luck tomorrow and sending you a big virtual ((((HUG))))

Nita, i'm so proud of you that y ou have made a choice. It's to many times in life that we put ourselves and our health on the back burner for others. You've made a wonderful decision. Remember, we are always here! :D I'm not that far out, but friend me, ask me any questions, whatever. I'll be happy to be there for you also. Maybe we could even help each other. Have a wonderful day. ANd make sure you come back to check in soon as you're feeling a little better. i'll be looking for u. :huh: :)

Me either but you can do it! Savedbygrace had it right. :) Just because others dont agree with you taking your health in hand doesn't make them right and you wrong.

Hold your mouse over the persons name. A menu will come up. There is a small sidebar on the left and then in the right hand area under the top menu, you'll see the shoulders/head image of a person. It says As add friend.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
